What you get
Natural, accurate colour, it holds its brightness on sport and other bright scenes, and it avoids halos round subtitles. A slider lifts speech above background noise. It's a 60Hz panel with three 4K 60Hz HDMI ports, HDR looks flat, and the picture dims as soon as you sit off-centre.

How we reached this verdict
Netzwelt tested the 65-inch and rates it good: natural colour with high accuracy, brightness that holds up on large bright areas, decent contrast for its class, low input lag and clever AI speech sliders, but a 60Hz panel (down from 120Hz on the QN70F), dimming in a few vertical strips, HDR without brilliance, weak viewing angles and no bass. It is the only full independent test we could read. Costco Canada and Currys owners mostly love the clear picture and easy setup; the complaints are a set that died after two weeks, poor viewing from the side and menus that don't match the manual.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
